Great specialty lumber store for unusual wood for specialty carpentry. Need a slice of tree for a…read moreone of a kind table top? Go here. Staff have been extraordinarily helpful via email to answer my 'I'm not a wood worker' questions about recycled lumber products for a table top I want to build. They provide many services - for example, for the board I want, they will metal detect and rip (for a fee, of course). Prices are competitive, selection is great and they know what they are talking about. Would I return: Yes. Would I recommend: Yes.

I've been in to buy some caulk and screws, and it's a perfectly fine establishment - nothing…read morespecial, but clean and competent. The staff were polite and helpful, and it's the only place around for miles. So when I saw some butt-hurt clown had signed up to write his first and only yelp review slagging the shop with an absurd story, I decided to balance things off with a 5 star rating (a more realistic rating is 3 to 3.5). I'm guessing that reviewer wanted to pick through the stacks and got pissed off when he wasn't allowed. No owner of a store would refuse to pick out a single good and straight piece of lumber for a customer purchasing twenty pieces.

Terrible customer service. I have been trying to work with them for over 6 weeks on duplicate…read morecharge that was the result of their payment terminals not working correctly. They have admitted that they can see the duplicate charge but are making me jump through hoops to get refunded which has still not been resolved. Never mind that I need to keep reminding them about the issue as they will go weeks without replying to me. Awful. Will never return.

Well... I live close to here, went through a move. So, of course I need this place here and there…read more It is nice and small. I cannot stand the big box hardware stores. I don't know how to find what I need, too much stuff. Too many huge aisles. This location, I always get a great parking spot in front as it's never busy. In late summer, I remember coming here also to grab corn and other fresh farm things from a stand in the lot. Handy. Yummy. The down side here is that there is no one asking if you need help and staff at the register are not that knowledgeable. It's also very expensive. Selection not great (even re light bulbs) BUT, they do have some unique things that I've only seen here. Some in housewares, would make great gifts. I grabbed the mug I took a pic of below as an example. Anyways, I've bought many an item here and I know I'll be back. Convenience gets it 3 stars.

This hardware store is much improved since it became a Home Hardware (it used to be a Rona…read morecorporate store before Lowe's bought them out). It's now brighter and cleaner, more inviting. And although I miss the kitchen set up display, I do love the addition of the giftware section! This shop has a small-town, personal feel, which the larger chains are lacking. It's still not a huge store, and the customer service section (round desk in the centre of the store) is still where it used to be. At least this store sells some lumber, and tiles. And there's an area / room for contractors to do their business, too. The biggest bonus to me is that it's still Canadian! Bravo! I will be back.
